Bailey, CO – Colorado investigators are renewing a push for information this week as the 2017 Bailey homicide of a local 17-year-old reaches its eighth anniversary. Officials say a $75,000 reward remains available for any tip that leads to an arrest in the case, which continues to be one of Colorado’s highest-profile cold cases.
According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the victim was found murdered inside her burned home near Bailey on December 1, 2017. Investigators determined the home had been burglarized and set on fire. Several items were reported stolen at the time, including guns, ammunition, jade figurines, and a safe.
CBI officials and the Park County Sheriff’s Office say they have reason to believe more than one person may have been involved in the killing. Authorities emphasize that even small details could help advance the long-running investigation.
“We believe someone knows something that could help solve this case and bring a measure of justice to the family and the Bailey community,” Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw said in the release. “It could take just one person to help our investigation.”
The $75,000 reward is being offered through the Park County Sheriff’s Office, the victim’s family, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the CBI.
